American pasttimes

Thanks to the global world we live in today, ideas can easily be transmitted across cultures. This weekend there was an important symposium of idea sharing- Europeans meet beer pong.

Yes, let the history books record the date the American immigrants brought beer pong to Europe. There should probably be a holiday from now on celebrating the event every year.

The beer pong was a relative hit, but the Swedish people got too cold. (Seriously??) However, flip cup was a big hit among the entire group!

Even the Swedish guy here looks like he's having a blast....and alllmost getting the hook'em sign right.

Mass consumption.

The happy group at the end.

I must also lament about how long it takes to get places in this town. If you want to go to any other part of London you should budget at least an hour....even if it is supposed to take you 45 min to get there. Depending on public transportation is the worst! It's taken me over an hour to get places because much of the Tube is closed on the weekends for construction (I imagine to prepare for the Olympics). I literally took two Tube trains and a bus to get to the place I needed to go on Sat night. On top of that you can hit traffic on the bus, as my friend did...which can cost you over an hour just to get across London!
